Trying to find a way to represent something that is truly frightening on stage is a fascinating challenge.

Personally, I don't want to do theater that's very stylish, when it's just stories on stage that are basically the same as TV or film.

In some ways, I missed my era because I'm big and messy and have big feelings and take up space on a stage rather than being diminutive and childlike in my woman-ness.

When I was nursing my son, you're up all the time during the first year, and you're sort of brain dead. So I'd find myself watching Turner Classic Movies at odd hours.

I love seeing people in their mess. I find that heartwarming. Charm just doesn't interest me. If I want to see charming people, I can watch TV.

I just find it fascinating, like everybody, to be in a different life. It's an escape.
